“First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation. So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.
Secondly, writing is survival. Any art, any good work, of course, is that. Not to write, for many of us, is to die.“

“It’s just going to get weirder and weirder, and weirder and weirder
And finally, it’s going to be so weird
That people are going to have to talk about how weird it is
So between now and 2012, the next 14 years
I look for the invention of artificial life, the cloning of human beings,
Possible contact with extraterrestrials, possible human immortality
And at the same time, appalling acts of brutality, genocide
Race baiting, homophobia, famines, starvation
Because these systems which are in place to keep the world sane
Are utterly inadequate to the forces that have been unleashed
It’s just going to get weirder and weirder, and weirder and weirder
The collapse of the socialist world, the rise of the internet
These are changes so immense
Nobody could imagine them ever happening
And now that they have happened
Nobody even bothers to mention what a big deal it is
The fact that there is no such thing as the Soviet Union
People never talk about it anymore, but when I was a kid
The notion that that would ever change was beyond conceiving
The good news is that as primates
We’re incredibly adaptable to change
Put us in a desert, we survive
Put us in the jungle, we survive
Under Hitler, we survive
Under Nixon, we survive
We can put up with about anything, and it’s a good thing
Because we’re going to be tested to the limit
And this is why the right wing is so alarmed
Because what they see going on is the breakdown
Of all tradition, all order, all sanctioned norms of behavior
And they’re quite right that it’s happening
But they’re quite wrong to conclude
That it should be resisted or is somehow evil”
